Pauper immigration is not considered
 blessing in England any more than in this country. MT. Arnold White, whose services in the matter of emigration well known and appreciated in Great Britain, has this to say of the matter: The problem of graprling with the immigration of paupers from Rus sia, Poland and Germany has become of late years one of imperial importance. Will you permit one who shortly leaves England with g colony of English families to point out that time, labor, thought and money laid out on colonization are wasted in the absence of drastic, prompt and permanent measures for preventing the places of people who leave 1 being occupied by paupers from abroad. Col onization is changed from remedy to poi son by the free ingress of persons whose efforts to land in any British colony or the territory of other European powers would be forcibly prevented. The Labor Press doesn't think much of the Democratic party, in spite of the efforts of that party to win it's love. Says our contem- porary in it's last issue: AS a factor in na-
 tional politics the Democratic party has
 probably ceased to exist. This much has | been made plain by the recent elections in Cincinnati and Chicago, where in one case the Democrats put no ticket in the field and | in the other were the third in the race. To | party whose plurality was so narrow in the last Presidential election, the drift of public opinion which this indicates is fatal. Not | even in the dark days which followed the
 outbreak of the civil war did the prospects of
 the Democratic party appear so gloomy as
 now. It can no longer hope for ths support
 of the great body of voters who work for
 wages, who have mads up it's rank and file in
 the northern States. Without this support 1 it will fall into the third place in every northern city and manufacturing town, and

Disorders Which Affect the Kidneys

Are among the most formidable known.
Diabetes, Bright's disease, gravel, and
other complaints of the urinary organs,
are not ordinarily cured in severe cases,
but they may be averted by timely medi-
cation. A useful stimulant of the urinary
glands has ever been found in Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, medicine which not
only affords the requisite stimulus when
they become inactive, but increases their
vigor and secretive power. By increasing
the activity of the kidneys and bladder,
this medicine has the additional effect of
expelling from the blood impurities
which ii is the peculiar office of those Or
gans to eliminate and pass off. The
Bitters is also purifier and strengthener
of the bowels, an invigorant of the
stomach. and matchless remedy for
biliousness and fever and ague. 1t coun>

Gen. Boulanger has recently given prizes
to the, best trainers of carrier pigeons in the
department of the Seine. Pigeon training
in France has become branch of the mill
tary service and plenty of well trained birds
are to be found in the costly and beautiful
little establishment that has been built for
them. They are furnished with modern
improvements and luxuries that vulgar and
ignorant pigeons could never appreciate
Among the pigeons now in the possession
of the government are several veterans of
the siege of Paris, and one among them is
genuine old hero. In 1870 this bird was
taken up in the Paris balloon called the
Niepcs, and was captured by the Prussians.
Prince frederick Charles sent him as a
present to his mother, the Princess Charles
of Prussia, who put him among her own
collection of birds, where he was treated
with all possible kindness. But he was a
patriot. The bitter bread of exile did not
agree with. him. He flew away and reached
his home in pigeon house in the Boulevard
Clichy. The owner of the establishment
handed him over to themilitary authorities.
and he is now once more in the service of
his native country, and doubtless hopes to
win additional glory in the future.
